important reason for entrepreneurship and innovation failures in
Developmental and transitional countries is insufficient financial resources
and its management.
This mini track aims at finding ways of closing this gap by conceptualizing
and constructing strategies for raising finance for Entrepreneurship and
Innovation in Developmental and Transitional Economies. It does so by
outlining the sources and means available to Entrepreneurs and Innovators in
Developmental and Transitional countries to raise and maintain fixed capital,
working capital and growth capital.
Presenters are expected to focus on both theoretical and empirical approaches
and provide examples of good practices that will ensure that small
enterprises in developing world are guided towards the roadmap of
